ABOUT THE E-TYPE SCULPTURE
EVERY YEAR AT THE GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED, GERRY JUDAH CREATES A HUGE CENTRAL SCULPTURE
ON THE LAWN IN FRONT OF GOODWOOD HOUSE. THIS YEAR I WAS ESPECIALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS
CREATION AS I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE COMMISSIONED BY JAGUAR TO CELEBRATE 50 YEARS OF THE E-
TYPE - A CAR I’VE BEEN PHOTOGRAPHING ALL YEAR. WHEN I FIRST CAUGHT SIGHT OF IT, MY INITIAL
IMPRESSION WAS ‘IT’S HUGE!’ AND ‘IT’S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO ALL PREVIOUS CENTRAL DISPLAYS. BIG
IT CERTAINLY WAS, STANDING 28 METRES TALL AND WEIGHING IN AT OVER 175 TONNES! SPEAKING TO LORD
MARCH, HE CONFIRMED IT WAS THE WORLD’S BIGGEST CAR STATUE AND THE FIRST AT THE FESTIVAL NOT TO
FEATURE ANY ACTUAL CARS. I THINK GERRY HAS CREATED A STUNNING WORK OF ART, INGENIOUSLY
TRANSFORMING STEEL TUBES INTO THE ICONIC SHAPE OF THE E-TYPE. OF COURSE, YOU ONLY REALISE IT’S A
CAR WHEN YOU VIEW IT FROM THE SIDE. FROM THE FRONT YOU WOULDN’T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. ONE THING
IT DEFINITELY WAS, WAS PHOTOGENIC, ALTHOUGH IT HAS TO BE SAID, ITS SHEER SCALE MADE IT QUITE A
CHALLENGE TO SHOOT WITHOUT GETTING OTHER THINGS IN THE PICTURE! AND, WHAT MADE IT SO GOOD
WAS HOW ITS APPEARANCE CHANGED DEPENDING ON THE LIGHT. PERSONALLY, THE ONLY THINGS I WOULD
HAVE CHANGED ABOUT IT WAS I WOULD HAVE SET IT AT AN ANGLE, RATHER THAN STRAIGHT UP (ALTHOUGH
THERE MAY WELL HAVE BEEN PRACTICAL REASONS FOR NOT DOING SO) AND I WOULD HAVE ILLUMINATED IT
AT NIGHT. APART FROM THAT, IT WAS, TO MY EYES, A WORK OF GENIUS. I HOPE THESE IMAGES GO SOME WAY
TO CAPTURING THE SCALE OF A TRULY ICONIC SCULPTURE.
